That is highly likely unrelated to the log messages we're talking about.

> but it doesn't seem to be causing any serious problem right now (?) At the moment I have an issue where *sometimes* when I return to my computer and the screen has gone to sleep, it takes an incredibly long time to show me the login prompt.

[Bug 1740522] Re: GLib: g_variant_new_string: assertion 'string != NULL' failed
It would be an easy fix if the assertion message printed the backtrace of the apps calling in glib. I wonder if the system packages are compiled in RelWithDbgInfo by default, so that a stacktrace would be useful in release for fixing bugs like this. I wonder if there's a way to extend G_DEBUG with a "slient- stacktraces" option that would report a core file to the system on each critical/warning, because I assume it's in Ubunutu's best interests to fix all of these they can, but of course you don't want all the apps crashing, so G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals doesn't seem it will work.

[Bug 1740522] Re: GLib: g_variant_new_string: assertion 'string != NULL' failed
Probably both are true... A quick google shows many apps experiencing that same assertion failure. If you'd like to keep this bug about the gdm3 case then we'll need some log file(s) (or screenshots?) of the problem being reported against gdm3.

According to the Logs application, the sender of the message was gdm3, so it seemed a reasonable guess. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1740522 Title: GLib: g_variant_new_string: assertion 'string != NULL' failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1740522/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
